Restore your settings from a back up. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Then 'ps axf | grep kio_http' (while you have all applications closed) and |
| 17 |
kill that if it is still running. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Warning: I think that going back into the settings and running Search for a |
| 20 |
weather URI will launch again a kio_http process and you're back where you |
| 21 |
started. |

If you have your NOAA URI correctly set in your .kde4/share/config/plasma- |
| 43 |
desktop-appletsrc it should go fetch the weather feed from there. |
